Trained as an art historian, Dr. Bergdoll has focused his work on modern architectural history looking at architecture’s role in shaping culture and society. He has championed design thinking to respond to long-term challenges of global warming, called for the end of the cult of star architects, and pushed for museums to take on advocacy roles.

Dr. Barry Bergdoll is the Meyer Schapiro Professor of Modern Architectural History at Columbia University and Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art, where from 2007-2013 he served as The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design.
